I don't know if it's really possible to do it now.

Unknown to some of the new users, a couple of years ago, the forum area was a pretty open area where we used to discuss all sorts of topics like religion, sex and other adult topics.
In the last year we had to kinda pull back on that sort of thing and limit discussions to more guitar related topics because a lot of our new members were sensitive to that sort of thing..not to mention that parents and children were seeing a lot of the posts.
(just do a search of past posts and you'll see what I mean)

So a lot of the regulars have left and guys like me who used to get into some heated discussions have been forced to kinda meld into the background and not get involved in that stuff anymore.

Where the forum used to be a community of people talking about all kinds of subjects, we've had to limit it to more of a guitar community with questions about music only.

(I think hence, the reason why we've never gone over the record from a couple of years ago. There isn't as much of a community like before of hundreds of people who knew each other and contributed to daily discussions have moved on to other forums.)
